I don't care how much shit I catch for this post but here's my simple advice, STOP COMMISSIONING. As someone who used to commission a lot of artists, after being burned over and over and over even by artists I trusted the last month I've given up, I'm done paying people who aren't going to do the work or aren't willing to pretend to care about even working. So far, I can tell you most artists are lazy as fuck. As soon as they get some kind of money they cease buttering you up and put you to the side and move on to the next client. $600 or so a month on art isn't a lot and at this point I've never expecting to see the money, the selfish pricks can keep it since they need it more than myself clearly. The part that pisses me off is giving someone what they want (the money) then getting nothing in return but silence via e-mails or "I'll get around to it".

tl;dr Don't commission artists you don't trust
